can I pray for your return?
the bird I am looking for is not in me
it is you
it's so clear you missed it
what we saw in you
green like flame

someone felt something pure
and told it all to you
that was why you killed yourself
to prove it wasn't true

say hello to Cory's mom
say hello to Freddy's mom
say hello to Ryan's mom

we're all and have been
on your side
what is worse for you to bear?

it's obscene
why you missed
what they saw in you
grey like flame

can I pray for your return?
